Vatican City State, for the
inveterate traveler, merits at least
one week of serious guided tours
of the Vatican Museums, Gardens,
Catacombs, St. Peter's Basilica
and attendance at numerous
cultural events, not to mention
attendance at Holy Offices, if
the visitor is of the Faith or so
inclined otherwise. Peter's Way
Tours, also headed by Dr. Bahou,
is expert at arranging a program.
Senator Dr. Hans-Albert Courtial
is a longtime patron of liturgical
music and of restoration efforts in
Vatican City. Touring the Vatican
catacombs with him is riveting. He
and his staff are able to help their
guests plan activities centered
around the Vatican, particularly
interesting during the Sacred
Music Festival which he founded.
Breakfast, a light lunch and
evening cocktails and dinner on
the terrace are magical. Situated
at the end of a landscaped roof,
the massive façade of St. Peter's
looms to the left. Straight on, the
visitor has a view of the Papal
HYLAND
